Optimization of a Continuous Preparation Method of Arthrospira platensis γ-linolenic acid by supercritical carbon dioxide technology using response surface methodology

γ-linolenic acid is an essential omega-6 unsaturated fatty acid made in the human body from linoleic acid. It can be metabolized to various important eicosanoids and it is also a precursor of prostaglandin E and several other active substances that are associated with anti-inflammatory properties. A...
